I was thinking that too. I think it's the proportions she applied to the facial features that gives it that strange feel (or one thing I can point out...); it's that kind of thing that we are subconsciously aware of, but don't know how to explain. It certainly makes the piece more interesting!

i thought commenting here is useless considering the amount of attention this piece has. but the expression on her face is beautiful ! so innocent has a little hint of zoe saldana but not so much. love the expression and your painting is phenomenal !

I keep ending up on your pages lately and I must say: this is nothing that I'd call a sketch I love the metal details in her hair and the way you draw hair is also terrific. absolutely reference materialamazing work. Keep it up
